Public trust in drinking water safety is low globally: Study finds association with perceptions of public corruption

A new study finds more than half of adults surveyed worldwide expect to be seriously harmed by their water within the next two years. Led by global health experts at Northwestern University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the study sought to understand public perceptions of drinking water safety. The study "Self-reported anticipated harm from drinking water across 141 countries" is published in the journal Nature Communications.
